Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Replace Spark Plug

  • Remove the engine cover if applicable.
  • Locate cylinder number 2 spark plug.
  • Use a socket wrench to remove the spark plug.
  • Inspect the old spark plug; if it is worn or damaged, replace it with a new spark plug that meets OEM specifications.
  • Torque the new spark plug to the manufacturer's recommended value (typically around 13-15 lb-ft).
  • Reinstall the engine cover if removed.

3. Replace Ignition Coil

  • Disconnect the electrical connector from the ignition coil for cylinder number 2.
  • Remove the ignition coil by unscrewing the mounting bolts or clips.
  • Install the new ignition coil, ensuring it is seated correctly.
  • Reconnect the electrical connector securely.

4. Test Fuel Injector

  • If the misfire persists, check the fuel injector for cylinder number 2.
  • Disconnect the fuel injector connector and use a noid light to check for signal; if there is no signal, inspect the wiring.
  • If the injector is faulty, remove and replace it with a new one, ensuring proper installation.

5. Reassemble and Reset

  • Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
  • Start the engine and allow it to idle for a few minutes.
  • Use the OBD-II scanner to clear the fault codes and monitor for any reoccurrence of the P0302 code.
